I stumbled upon an article about Hewlett-Packard, a company in which is changing its business strategy due to its lack in market revenue as well as other complications. The reason for my interest in this companies success happens to be because my father works for one of the specific departments. The company’s initial technology plans with webOS and tablets based on the platform did not work as hoped. This has caused the action to make webOs a mobile operating system to become available to the open-source community. Similar to the linux platform. Developers would now be able to tinker and change the operating system free of charge in order to increase the availability as well as cost. This business profiting action could very well result in a successful revenue coming into the third quarters. Phone operating systems are on of the many more to follow an open sourced system. Only time will show the success!

An article i recently read talked about this site WordPress.com which has apparently implemented a Professional Sports News Site which makes the creation of a look alike web page incredibly easy. One of the awesome abilities software and the web has allowed us is for users with the lowest amount of knowledge in a certain area to contribute to their own similar web page. Software these days are slowly becoming more and more user friendly, which only improves the options people have for developing amazing sites for whatever genre of your choosing. This is used for professional sports, however the options are only starting to become available to the average user.

One article posted on yahoo news that I thought was not necessarily interesting but more so completely different compared to the freedom in our lives. The article relates to censorship because Beijing demands the registration of all names for blog posters. To me the obvious implications of this action is so Beijing and government officials have more information on potential negative content towards China. This country of course has its own censorship through the internet, which has caused major debate with other companies for instance Google. However, this article shows a mere shadow of censorship. Because of the types of restrictions put on the internet surfing the web would be completely different with specific information only being fed. One of the most important roles the internet plays is in its way for users to access endless amounts of information. The freedom on this information is so important to creating and developing your own opinions. How do you think censorship would change your life? Living under those circumstances would be completely different.

An article on ReadWriteWeb that I have recently read goes over a somewhat secret lab created by Google called Google X. Reason for such an interesting name is because the lab is filled with future technology ideass as well as devices that may or may not be implemented in our world in the future. The unbelievable lab was created by Google to start exploring these different types of possible technology in the future. Guaranteed we will see many of this different devices someday in the near future. Hopefully in our lifetime.

One article I have recently found talks about an AP Stylebook’s New Tool which automatically edits writing content. One of the main reasons why i emphasize this article is how it can make certain publisher’s lives much easier because they can partly rely on certain software like this. However I am questioning the software itself as I feel like the impact of certain software like this belittle the average person’s writing skills. For instance if this correcting software is available to students their grasp of English will be hindered. Its something to think about!
